Dow Corning 795 Silicone Building Sealant - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used the Dow 795 to hold plexiglass windows in place on a sailboat. The product has a unique consistancy, it doesn't run or string, it is almost like tar. This made it very easy to apply and then form the edges with a wet finger. It is expensive material but if it holds up like advertised, it was well worth the price.

GE Silicone II Clear Caulk, 10.1-Ounce Cartridge #GE5000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a tube of this stuff, applied it to a door threshold and it NEVER cured. This is not uncommon, see the link [...]
Now on day 5 after application, still no cure. Its a real mess to remove. Its unconscionable that GE would keep such a poor product on the market, or that the retailers continue selling it!
And GE, don't tell me to look at the expiration date -- the labeling doesn't warn of that, and besides no other caulk I've ever used has this problem.

Dap 18362 Crystal Clear DAP Dynaflex 3.0 All-Purpose Sealant 9.0-Ounce Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although it may have great quick weatherproofing capabilities, it's very tough to work with if you can't lay a perfect line right out of the gun. For years I've used standard painter's caulk, usually utilizing the "wet finger" technique for smoothing. It's done well for me. This stuff is like soft sticky stringy marshmallow. It sticks to anything you may try to use - fingers, caulk smoothing tools, whatever. Unless I'm totally pressed by the weather, I'm staying with painter's caulk. For those who can lay a perfect line: this is probably a great product for you.

Dap 18001 White Kwik-Seal All-Purpose Caulk 5.5-Ounce Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm sure this is a great calk as far as vinyl adhesive calks go, what with the mold-resistance. It bonds fine. It's very easy to work with. But vinyl adhesive calks are too brittle when cured if you have a joint that is at all flexible, for example a formica panel, or something that expands a lot with temperature changes.
This is common knowlege for some people, but producers should really indicate better on the labels what the calk is and is not good for, perhaps suggesting one of their other formulations.
If you need something that can flex, look for a pure vinyl or silicon calk. The former is easier to work with (stretches like mozzerella) but getting harder to find on shelves these days -- that does emit a LOT of fumes.
Ingredients of this calk: ethyline glycol, phthalate esters, n-butyle acetate, vinyl acetate, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, ehtyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, acrylamide, crystalline silica -- you'll want to keep the room ventilated for weeks afterwards.
